Other methods for depositing mixed filmsTiO 2-S102 mixed films prepared by the fast alternating sputter method Shiuh Chao, Cheng-Kuel Chang, and Jyh-Shin Chen We introduced the fast alternating sputter method and its application on deposition of TiO2-SiO2 mixedfilms. By using fast alternating sputter, the TiO2 and SiO2 were completely mixed in the film, and no thinpairstructure could be found by x-ray diffraction. The structure of the mixed films was amorphous in a widecomposition range. The optical properties of the mixed films in the visible and near infrared changed fromSiO2-dominant to TiO 2 -dominant as TiO2 content in the film increased. 1 August 1991 / Vol. 30, No. 22 / APPLIED OPTICS 3233 Slow alternating sputter for “nano-film” ?

Mixed films of TiO2–SiO2 depositedby double electron-beam coevaporationJyh-Shin Chen, Shiuh Chao, Jiann-Shiun Kao, Huan Niu, and Chih-Hsin ChenWe used double electron-beam coevaporation to fabricate TiO2–SiO2 mixed films. The depositionprocess included oxygen partial pressure, substrate temperature, and deposition rate, all of whichwerereal-time computer controlled. The optical properties of the mixed films varied from pure SiO2 to pureTiO2 as the composition of the films varied accordingly. X-ray diffraction showed that the mixed filmsall have amorphous structure with a SiO2 content of as low as 11%. Atomic force microscopy showedthat the mixed film has a smoother surface than pure TiO2 film because of its amorphous structure.Linear and Bruggeman’s effective medium approximation models fit the experimental data betterthan other models.APPLIED OPTICS Vol. 35, No. 1, 90, 1 January 1996 Prof. Chao, National Tsing Hua Univ., Taiwan
